Patented Feb. 11, 1930 UNITED STATES EDWARD I. BBENEMAN, OF ST. PAUL,MINNESOTA ASH RECEIVER FOR AUTOMOBILES Application filed August 4, 1927,Serial No. 210,592. Renewed June 19, 1928.

This invention relates to a receptacle for closed motor vehicles, theeneral ob'ect of the invention being to provide means w ereby thereceptacle can be suspended from or hung on the window ledge of theinterior of a vehicle and be readily removed at the convenience of theuser so that ashes, matches, cigarette and cigar stubs, and the like,can be placed in the same by any occupant of the vehicle.

Another object of the invention is to provide means for extinguishing acigarette or cigar or scraping off ashes therefrom and for supporting acigarette or cigar in the top of the receptacle so that it can be easilypicked up by the user.

This invention also consists in certain other features of constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to

be hereinafter fully described and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my lnvention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying draw- 2 ing wherein like characters denote like orcorresponding arts throughout the several views, and in w ich Figure 1is a view showing the receptacle hung on the window ledge (window sill)of a vehicle.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the device.

Figure 3 is a section on line 33 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3, but

showing a slight modification.

, In these views, 1 indicates a box-like receptacle which has its rearside extended u wardly and bent twice at rightangles to orm a hook-likepart 2 which is adapted to be placed over the window ledge in theinterior of an automobile to support the receptacle, as in Figure 1, sothat ashes, matches and the like can be placed in the receptacle by theoccupants of the automobile.

Inwardly extending ears 4 are attached to the inner side wall of thereceptacle and have their inner ends slightly spaced apart. The cars arerounded, as shown in Figure 2, so that these edges can be used forextinguishing a cigarette or cigar or scraping ashes or sparks fromcigarettes or cigars. These ears also form a rest for a cigarette orcigar to support the same until the smoker is ready to use the cigaretteor cigar again.

Figure l shows the ears provided with de- 5 pending 1aw parts 5 to gripthe cigarette or o1gar and thus insure it not falling into thereceptacle.

With this device, ashes, burnt matches, cigarette and cigar stubs andthevlike need not be thrown u on the floor or from the windows, as theycan e placed in the receptacle. The hanger of the receptacle is soconstructed to support the receptacle by merely placing the same overthe window ledge without the use of screws or other fastenings, makingit easy to move the same from one place to another so that it may bewithin reach of the user and can be easily removed and emptied whennecessary. 7

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages andnovel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, providedthat such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is 1. An ash receiver and cigarette and cigar holder forautomobiles-comprising a receptacle having an extension at the top ofone side thereo said extension being bent into hook shape for providingmeans for attaching the receptacle to a part of the vehicle, a '85 pairof inwardly extending tongues connected with the interior wall of thereceptacle adjacent the top thereof, said tongues being arranged oposite each other and of tapered shape, sai tongues providingextinguishing means for cigarettes and ci ars and for scrap ing ashestherefrom and orming a support for a cigarette or cigar.

2. An ash receiver and cigarette and cigar holder for automobilescomprising a receptacle havin an extension at the top of one side thereosaid extension being bent into hook shape for providing means forattaching the receptacle to a part of the vehicle,

a pair of inwardly extending tongues con- 10c nected with the interiorwalls of the receptacle adjacent the topwihereof, to e: being arranged opom each 0 an o tapered shape, '5 tongues providing extinmeans forcigarettes and cigars and 5 01- scraping ashes therefrom and forming asupport for a cigarette or cigar, each tongue haw? an extension at itsinner end whic is bent ownwardly and curved to provide gripping meansfor a cigamtte or cigar.
